YEAR 3 PROJECT - Through the Ages

In the Through the Ages project, your child will learn about three different periods of British prehistory: the Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age. They will discover terminology relating to time and sequence dates to make a timeline. They explore the changes to people, homes and lifestyle throughout the different periods and investigate examples of prehistoric settlements, monuments, burials and artefacts in detail. They will also study how technology improved over time, including how the discovery of different metals changed the way that people lived.

English

W/c 13th October 2025

This week we will continue working on our Year 3 Place Value of Grammar and Punctuation unit.  This week we will apply all of our prior learning to punctuation larger pieces of text.  We will find verbs/verb phrases and subjects, identify leftover and link them to clauses.  We will then add pull stops, capital letters and commas where required.

 

Playing 'punctuation pirates' on Ed Shed will support this.
